COLOR OPTIONS
Colors availabe for Batch 1 are Metallic Maroon Paint (top left), Meissen Blue Paint (middle), & Continental Black Cerakote (bottom right). All frames will be painted to order.
BRAKE & CLEARANCE
Frame & fork require 47-57mm reach brakes (typically called mid-reach, but can very depending on the brand. It’s best to confirm the brake matches the above specs.) This brake reach allows clearance for up to 35c tires.
STANDARD PARTS
We’ve based our design on classic industry-standard parts that have been in use for decades, giving you plenty of options for compatibility. Check the tech specs section below for exact specifications.
MECHANICAL
We believe there’s still a place for mechanical cable actuated shifting in this world, so we designed our frame around it. Plus, it allows you to run that sweet vintage groupset you’ve been hoarding!
FENDERS
Frame and fork are equipped with eyelets for fenders. We even have a stealth fender bolt on the back of the seattube for clean mounting. (Please note while running fenders, the max recommended tire size is 28c.)
3RD MOUNT
Size 55 & 58 come with a third bottle mount on the bottom of the down tube. Use it for more liquid on long remote rides or as a handy tool/small pump mount.
